3DKR8C/11U

The 3-D board consists of an R8C/11 microcontroller (MCU) mounted on to a circuit board with 8 independent LEDs connected to an I/O port to allow simple visual output from the MCU. Three switches allow interrupt input to the MCU and a variable resistor is connected to an Analogue-to-Digital Converter (ADC) input allowing an analogue voltage to be measured. The board can be interfaced to a PC via the USB socket where C-coded programs may be downloaded to the MCU using the KD30 debugger software provided. Also provided is a header connector around the MCU which provides access to the MCU I/O pins.

Demo tool where the basic functions of the MCU can be tested or demonstrated. Sample programs on the CD-ROM can be downloaded to the MCU via the USB port.

Benchmarking target board for evaluating the MCU performance, allowing compilation, debugging and benchmarking of the user's own code.

Simple in-circuit emulator. If fitted with the header connectors (0.1" pitch, double-row headers) it can function as a simple in-circuit emulator, where hardware or software can be debugged. The user's target hardware is built to allow this with the compatible PCB sockets.

Flash programming tool. Using the external Flash connector the 3-D board is able to program an external R8C device.

USB Mini-B socket connected to a Renesas 38K0 USB microcontroller acting as a USB-to-UART interface. The green Status LED lights when the USB microcontroller has completed the set-up negotiation with the USB host.

Power is supplied by the USB hub/host or a DC power supply connected to the header connector. USB power is selected by moving the "USB Power" switch to "On".

The Flash connector, PL6, can be used to program an external target M16C/R8C.
